Great service, great support, great value; nothing is impossible with Afrishare.
We booked a school trip with Afrishare, which included community service, a day hike on Kilimanjaro and a days safari to Ngorogoro. In the build up, Ibrahim's communication was timely and supportive, and during the trip he was very receptive to the needs to the group. His guides on Kilimanjaro and his drivers on safari were superb: friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. He easily facilitated last minute changes in itinerary, and did so with a smile. I can't recommend highly enough. We will definitely be coming back next year with the school group, and i may well try and bring my family in the meantime.

Review about Masai Mara National Reserve by Irena Verbic
It was quite easy to see animals because of low grass and because we could go off road!! So many animals you can see there!!!

Review about Lake Nakuru National Park by Irena Verbic
So many rhinos that left me speechless!!! Didn't see flamingos from close, only when they were flying far away...but that's nature.

Amazing experience
It was wonderful to see wildlife in such an amazing scenery!
Really happy about accommodations, I didn't expect such comfort even on 'camping'.
Food was amazing and there was a lot of it ;)
When it comes to transportation and guides, it was good, but because we were a group with different itineraries, we had to change vehicles or someone else joined our vehicle. So at one moment we were completly packed (9 of us including the driver). It would be better if that was explained to us before we left and on the way (aditional changes were made), so we would know what to expect! Lack of information made us feel a little lost at times.
All in all a good experience and would do it again in a heartbeat!!

Cedarberg Africa helped us plan a honeymoon beyond our wildest dreams!
When my then-fiance said I could pick our honeymoon destination, I knew we had to visit the country at the very top of my bucket list - South Africa. I first reached out to two travel agencies close to home, and asked them to put together an itinerary based on our budget. I was worried because we were wanting to travel during the peak season, but it was still incredibly disappointing when they both came back and told me we could only afford an week-long trip, assuming we stayed in very low budget accommodations. Just when I was about to give up hope, my mom found a post on a local neighborhood bulletin from someone saying they'd just gone on the most outstanding African vacation, and they wanted to recommend their travel agent: Sonja Brand at Cedarberg Africa. I reached out to her, my last hope, and crossed my fingers...
Long story short: Cedarberg Africa helped us plan a honeymoon beyond our wildest dreams! We hopped all around the country for 14 nights, and each property was stunning, luxurious, and staffed with the most wonderful people who truly made us feel spoiled each and every day. My husband and I agree this was the best vacation we've ever taken (and I consider myself a relatively well-traveled individual), and we cannot wait to plan our next South African adventure down the road, with the help of Cedarberg Africa, of course!

Experience never to forget, thanks to our excellent guide Ken
We booked a 3 days trip to Masai Mara. The communication before was very good. Thank you Esther. Reply on questions was fast and before leaving it was clear what we needed to take with us (US dollars for entrance, some extra money,...).
We got a very good guide,(thank you Ken) who had a lot of experience. It really was an adventure. It was also very nice to see how all the guides work as a team, younger less experienced guides were advised so all the groups got a nice safari.
Also the lounge was a nice place (Olmaran) with friendly personal.

The perfect safari
Lion King Adventures gave us the perfect safari experience. We emailed Anna with what we needed, and she crafted the trip to include exactly what we asked for... even difficult things like being picked up from Kilimanjaro Airport late at night, a night's accommodation in Arusha organised for us on the night before we started and a drop-off in Moshi at the end, which is much further than Arusha, all of which was incredibly helpful.
The safari itself was wonderful - we visited Tarangire, Lake Manyara, the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater. We saw all the big 5, including two kills, and a whole host of other wildlife. Our guide, James, was great. He was funny, friendly and very knowledgable, keeping up the fun energy in the jeep from start to finish. He was also very flexible to our needs, asking us how long we wanted our days to be and taking us to where he thought we had the best chance of seeing the animals we wanted to see. He was a real expert on the wildlife, answering all the questions we had and more, teaching us local vocab and even saying "I smell lion" about 2 minutes before finding a lion! A master of the plains!
The facilities were wonderful - big, tasty lunches, speakers and wifi (!) in the open-top jeep, lots of water, beer and soft drinks in the jeep and the accommodation was all very comfortable and came with brilliant customer service too.
We did a private, mid-range, 5-day safari, but I'm sure that Lion King Adventures offers a great service no matter which type of tour you choose. It really felt tailored to what we asked for. Me and my friend were both really happy we chose them for our safari adventure, and we would both recommend them to anyone for an amazing experience in Tanzania.
